Actually, conscience isn't the problem for Gibbs and his boss; it's spine. Thomas's question got at an Obama administration trait that is puzzling opponents and demoralizing supporters: Why isn't the president more decisive and forceful? On many of the most pressing issues -- the public option in health reform, troop levels in Afghanistan, sanctions against Iran -- the administration has hewed to hemming and hawing.
The area in which Obama has been most forceful recently has been, of all things, his effort to win the Olympics for his home city of Chicago, which caused him to fly off Thursday evening on a quick lobbying trip to Copenhagen. The first lady announced that the Olympics campaign was a "take no prisoners" mission.

Did they have to fly there? This couldn't have been done via teleconference? Is this not the 21st century? These freakin' politicians piss me off. What a waste. Are the environuts screaming bloody hell at this? Course not, mums the word. Wrong when Bush wasted (per Navy's post), wrong here.
"Take no prisoners" mission. Couldn't even take a second hit, out at first bat.
